   What other e-mail providers do you use, if you don't mind? A primary reason I use Google Apps mail is for the spam filtering.

   Back around 2000 whenever the synopses and apocalypses were coming out I read each one with excitement, looking forward to how fun Perl 6 would be to program in. The non-existence of a production Perl 6 implementation after over a decade of

   Same! But apparently it's a thing. I'm totally just asking for "fajitas" now. Also, tried the Chipotle app but the app doesn't let you choose between white and brown rice :-/ Edit: but you can add special instructions at the end of the orde

   Not a very helpful article. Far from a general "improve your Python productivty", it's more like "here are some minor random Python features that I think are useful". TLDR: * Use dict and set comprehensions. * Use collections.Counter. * Use

   On OSX I just use the built-in 'open -t', which works so long as Sublime Text is configured to open .txt files.

   I really like my Razer Naga, but one day I went to install new drivers and found that they required signing up for their "cloud" service. Worse, the old drivers weren't available from their site. So, now I'm using the mouse without drivers

   "Keep in mind though, this will probably be the only year we do this..." Why assert that it's a one-time thing if the conference has only been growing every year?

   Thanks for this. Great quote. FWIW the original, by Rich Hickey, seems to have been "Patterns mean 'I have run out of language'". Cited here - https://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/lispguide... - but I can't find an original

    Here's hoping they can finally work natural _underline_ support in... Edit: I've wondered whether the original Markdown didn't have underline support because <u> was deprecated/removed from HTML. FWIW, <u> is now back in HTM

    I think the lack of comments/votes on this post is representative of how much this open source release-to-be really matters. Unfortunately, it's years too late.

    I've been fairly happy with GQueues. The lack of nested tasks is a killer for me for taskup, but I see you commented elsewhere that that feature is coming soon.

    The whole "the root of all evil" comes from bad translation in the King James. Modern translations usually translate it as "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (NIV) or "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils" (ESV)

    I wish Burger King would sue the person for tarnishing their brand, or something. I feel like violating people's food should engender more serious consequences than the loss of a minimum wage job.

    ZeroRPC was just linked a few days ago[1] and this sounds similar. Both even use MessagePack for serialization. How are they different/similar? [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4147337
